Cold weather carry. I noticed that he used a shoulder bag and a shoulder holster. I think doing it the way he did compromises his strength because he used a cross body presentation. I f a perp was close enough he could push his arm against him and make it ipossible to draw out. Even though he rotated a little, its still a cross body draw. I think a strong side, close to body straight up draw would be safer.
Forgot a big one. A pocket holster in the strong hand pocket of a winter jacket. Keeps the lint out and has easy access. But, just like a briefcase, carry bag or purse, you need to know where that thing is at all times. Nothing safer than 'on-body' carry; but cold winter carry does present a few problems. DeSantis makes a great pocket holster that stays in our pocket when you need to present your firearm.
The best truly consealed carry is with a Sneaky Pete holster!
Carrying guns in cold weather will not load up even after logging into my premium account or going through the catagory and tags
Great tips for winter! What bag is that in the video if I may ask?
